A theme that lately[74] set my soul on fire.—

And Thou the next! yet equal! Thou, by whom

That blessing was convey’d; far more! was bought;

Ineffable the price! by whom all worlds

Were made; and one redeem’d! illustrious Light

From Light illustrious! Thou, whose regal power,

Finite in time, but infinite in space,

On more than adamantine basis fix’d,

O’er more, far more, than diadems, and thrones,

Inviolably reigns; the dread of gods! 2270
